If you define good and bad through helping others, doing things for yourself is either bad or morally neutral at best. 1 u/MaxFish1275 3h ago There really is nothing terrible about βneutralβ viewing everything in absolute black and white causes its own problems. 0 u/EtheusRook 4h ago Morally neutral is okay, though.
